I'm a screenwriter living in San Pedro Garza Garcia, Mexico. I've taught film in high school for a little while and love writing about controversial topics that break through the taboos of our time.
I've been a huge fan of criterion ever since I walked into a local video store, which sadly doesn't exist anymore, called Videodromo in honor of David Cronenberg's Videodrome. I always took my time choosing what films to see next, thinking of the store more like a library than it was for renting films where I could learn about experiences from all around the world from different times. This highly contrasted with my life growing up in Mexico going to an all boys catholic school where we were brought up in a strict manner to follow only one truth as oppossed to the universal teachings of film best portrayed in Kurosawa's Rashomon that there is not one truth, there are infinite truths.
In a time where connection is there, but not necessarilly fully formed be it through the barriers of language, religion or any other the Criterion collection is more important than ever.
